The Leland location decided to change to 2 thin smash burgers. Why??? They should have just made a smash burger OPTION. I went there tonight to get a thick burger like I have had the other 3 times. The new smash burgers are not as juicy and flavorful. I can get that type of burger at cookout or 5 guys. $13.00 for one bacon cheeseburger that was disappointing and well done because they are thin.

The bbq pulled beef over homemade biscuits was topped with a spectacular mustard sauce with two perfect eggs and a side of sweet potato waffle-fries sprinkled with cinnamon, cayenne, and sugar... You guessed it, I ate the whole thing! My husband had the beet salad topped with blackened chicken, which he raved about the whole time we were there. I highly recommend this restaurant, it is small and cozy with a unique ambience, great service with a smile, quite loud, but worth the wait!

The establishment was very clean & pleasant. Our meal, we took to go. Our milkshakes hit the spot for the Carolina Summer heat. Granddaughter & I loved our chicken tenders. As for the cost, I'm still adjusting to this rate/inflation hike. Personally, these prices hurt. But, if we think about the owner needs to be able pay his staff & suppliers. So, I guess it's average cost. I'd ask that you stop by the next HWY 55 Diner & judge for yourself, between Fast Food Corp or Hwy 55 Diner. Bring the family & enjoy a gratifying meal.

I came on the tail end of the "lunch rush" and saw most tables occupied. My mom and I were seated promptly, thankfully, and my server was prompt. She was happy to hear about how we found Winnie's and that we are looking forward to trying their signature burgers. I ordered a miniature Carolina Burger and my mother ordered a full-size Station Wagon Burger. The Station Wagon is Winnie's take on a Mushroom Swiss. My burger has chili and slaw between the patty. Both our patties are thick and juicy. The cajun fries have a kick to them and are worth trying out. We saved half our burgers to take home along with a take-out order of two more burgers. Our visit yielded four meals and two happy bellies.

They wouldn't accommodate a party of 5 or more without everyone being present, which delayed our seating.

There was even an arcade to entertain us while we waiting for the rest of the party to park. I think R&TC knows what they do well: southern style food for an affordable price and a family friendly atmosphere.
